Rearrange the Square

Stage: 1 Challenge Level:

You could print off and cut out a square from this sheet.
Can you try to imagine how the two pieces make the shape before trying it out? Were you right?
How about turning the pieces?
You might find it useful to work out first which part of the shape could be the small triangle.

The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners. To support this aim, members of the
NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to
embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice. More information on many of our other activities
